With all that protective wrapping, don't you just wonder what's going on in there? While I wasn't able to find out for sure, it's a pretty safe bet that it's not demolition. The building hidden under there is the Toronto Club, Canada's oldest private club. At first I thought that all of this might be to protect the heritage designated building while the recladding took place on the adjacent tower (note the scaffolding and metalwork running up the building on the left) but comments online indicate that the club might also be working on their brick work. It will be interesting to see what emerges from this temporary cocoon.
If like me, you find wrapped buildings interesting, you might want to check out a photographic series done a few years ago by artist William Mokrynski.
